Google is today the first choice amongst highly qualified potential job seekers.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Laszlo Bock, senior vice president of people operations at Google, which was conducted and condensed by Adam Bryant, explains what they’re looking for in a candidate.<\/p>\n

“There are five hiring attributes we have across the company,” explained Bock. “If it’s a technical role, we assess your coding ability, and half the roles in the company are technical roles. For every job, though, the No. 1 thing we look for is general cognitive ability, and it’s not I.Q. It’s learning ability. It’s the ability to process on the fly. It’s the ability to pull together disparate bits of information. We assess that using structured behavioral interviews that we validate to make sure they’re predictive.”<\/p>\n

The second, he added, “is leadership \u2014 in particular emergent leadership as opposed to traditional leadership.\u00a0 Traditional leadership is, were you president of the chess club? Were you vice president of sales? How quickly did you get there? We don’t care. What we care about is, when faced with a problem and you’re a member of a team, do you, at the appropriate time, step in and lead. And just as critically, do you step back and stop leading, do you let someone else?\u00a0 Because what’s critical to be an effective leader in this environment is you have to be willing to relinquish power.”<\/p>\n

Also on the hiring side, we found that brainteasers are a complete waste of time. How many golf balls can you fit into an airplane? How many gas stations in Manhattan? A complete waste of time. They don\u2019t predict anything. They serve primarily to make the interviewer feel smart. Instead, what works well are structured behavioral interviews, where you have a consistent rubric for how you assess people, rather than having each interviewer just make stuff up.<\/p>\n
